Though why would you do a ride without a cafe? What kind of madness is that?
Damn good Q. However on Monday we did 4+ hours round the Aberfoyle area with no cafe option. And Friday we did a 6 hour winter hill walking day. On both I didn’t eat enough. The latter was just not stopping in the weather – had loads in my rucksack; the former I just went out with outdoor provision bars which wasn’t enough. Today we are going out for another 40 mile gravel ride and I’m thinking what to raid as we ride past the coop, that is easy to carry.
DrP – definitely nice long slow ride. The word race doesn’t feature in my vocabulary!
Some classic suggestions above, though a lot of carb and sugar. No protein?
Some of the dried fruit/Soreen stuff is a non starter for me, as IBS + no cafe stop is a potential disaster!!! (Over share!)
